The 2.4-inch screen palls in comparison to the modern array of touchscreens out there and the S740 doesnt have the best physical design weve seen. But it does have a range of key features, and if the keyboard is not too small for you it is a pocketa...

This is a well-featured Windows Mobile smartphone with a good mini-QWERTY keyboard and impressive battery life. Shame about the backplate though.

Touch screen phones might well be here to stay, but mobiles that use keypads are still enormously popular. The S740, aimed at business users and with a small 2.4 screen, is just one example. Its full slide-out alphabetic keyboard is an undeniable...

At first glance, HTCs S740 looks like a revamped version of the slimnsexy Touch Diamond, but with a numeric keypad and a pull-out Qwerty keyboard. Even the angled back is similar to the Diamonds. But when you pick it up, it soon becomes clear that...
The S740 isnt an attention-grabber like its Touch brethren. It looks and acts much like a normal phone, and not a very pretty one at that, albeit with some very fine hidden phone features such as Wi-Fi, A-GPS and an FM radio. And it has the most prac...

We liked the HTC S710 smartphone a lot when we reviewed it back in 2007 – the keyboard-only Windows Mobile Standard works much better than Professional, in our opinion. The new HTC S740 is technically an updated model – it has a similar design candy b...

HTCs last QWERTY keyboard phone was a well specced hulk of a thing that could fill any pocket. The HTC S740 is a much slimmer, more svelte affair, measuring just 43mm across, which somehow makes its 17mm depth feel like less than it really is. Its no...

As regular visitors to T&M will know Matt had a mini play with the HTC S740 couple of months ago, and his video preview can be seen here.In a detachment from the normal review I think that in lots of ways I totally agree with Matt’s views. This time I...
What a cracking little phone! It is well designed, great to use and very easy to live with.I would be really impressed if HTC could bring out a derivative without the keyboard, a la diamond, that would be good in my opinion.I do miss the touchscreen fo...

Thanks to its slide-out QWERTY keyboard HTC's S710 was something of a revelation when it first appeared and even managed to bag an Editor's Choice award in its SPV E650 guise. Since then plenty of other manufacturers have tried their hands at the format...
Despite it's foibles we still quite liked the S740. It's definitely not a phone that's going to appeal to everyone, but we think that if you're a heavy user of email and not too keen on Blackberry's range of phones, then it might be a good option. Especia...
